Cloverdale Service Incentives Program Parents: This year, Cloverdale Elementary School is excited to implement our new Cloverdale (Parent) Service Incentives Program. This program is designed to make volunteering easier for parents, guardians, and grandparents, while also making it fun for the students. Each time you volunteer, you earn points.
